The paper is concerned with a detailed contextual and archaeometrical presentation of a double-edged sword found in the Hungarian Vörs cemetery. The cemetery has been central in Hungarian research due its continuity of burials from the Avar Age throughout to the time of the Early Hungarian Principality in the 9th and 10th c. Excavators of the site usually noted a continuous population associated with the cemetery. The presence of a double-edged sword is intriguing at the site. The paper will provide exact measurements of the weapon, information about its formal features, and the findings of archaeometric analyses. After the examination, the results will be contrasted to comparable examples which suggest that both the burial and the sword date to the 9th c.

This paper presents the results of on-going study of La Tène household ceramics from Nitra-Mikov dvor. This paper focuses mainly on the ceramic raw material provenance, modelling techniques and firing conditions of the household ceramics. The results suggest that ceramics from petrographic group MD1 as well as MD2 were made from local raw materials including Upper Pleistocene and Quaternary fluvial deposits and also Quaternary deluvial deposits. The presence of low metamorphic rocks in group MD3 suggests that this ceramics were imported. The modelling techniques as well as the firing conditions are very variable within the petrographic groups. In general the thin-walled ceramics were made using potter wheel, whereas the thick-walled ceramics were hand made. The firing temperature was estimated between 700–800 °C for ceramics with anisotropic matrix and 800–900 °C for ceramics with isotropic matrix and partially decomposed calcite.
